Wow! This is a SMOKING GUN equal to the TH in Rathergate. The pixel distortion in the two 1's is IDENTICAL.
Get a close-up look:Full BC from whitehouse.gov
Even a flaming liberal who has ever used PhotoShop will know this is fake by looking at the duplicate 1's.
Another smoking gun pixel-perfect duplicate!:
There's no logical reason for or against to copy paste identical u's. The 1's perhaps and the boxes if one of the twins' was used for a template, had to have the X taken out. Also possibly Female had to be changed to Male, just wild speculations on my part.
But then someone comes along and says they have a graphics program that will produce identical characters down to the pixel like that. Baloney, someone else says the AP version doesn't show identical characters. It's lower resolution, zoom it up to enough magnification to compare, and it's all blurry.

If they are alterations, some of them make no sense one way or the other at this point. I'm no expert and all the "discoveries" were found by others, not me. I just double checked what I felt like and with what I do know how Photoshop essentially works; I can't find the layers people are finding with Illustrator, and some of those make no sense one way or another either, just that they would put it out that way and makes it appear like it is a composite.
Is it possible a scanner would read the H in THE as an X? It's supposed to be a stamp. My cheapo scanner wouldn't have done that. Makes no sense.
The 2 examples you posted are NOT identical.
The 2 “1’s” in 151 are similar, but not identical. (PhotoShop zoom to 500...differences are obvious.)
Same thing with the 1st and 2nd “boxes” similar...not identical.
